I have a thing on my phone that lets me do a ¯_(ツ)_/¯ and for some reason lt loses an arm on Lemmy. Made me so sad to realize no bot is gonna answer that.

In programming backslash can sometimes be used to enter special characters. Maybe Lemmy also follows this syntax? If so, typing two consecutive backslashes might help.

Test with one backslash:
Test with two backslashes: \

Isn’t that just markdown? Eg wrapping with a star/asterisk italicizes. If you want to escape that you backslash.

test in italics, made by wrapping with asterisks

* = a backslash escaped asterisk

Clown Fact #1:

"Sad Clown Paradox" happens when a person who is severely depressed resorts to using humor as a way to deflect their feelings of profound sadness and disappointment in the world. Many Clowns throughout history have used this coping mechanism to survive an overwhelming sense of existential dread.
